In this episode of the Coming to New York City Podcast, Nils and I take you inside our own neighborhood, Greenpoint, Brooklyn. We’re joined by our daughters, Emery and Shelby, who share their perspective on what makes life here special and where they’d rather hang out.

We swap stories about our favorite restaurants, stores, breakfast and coffee spots, and treats, and talk about the everyday rhythm of life in Greenpoint. Along the way, you’ll hear what we love most about living here, what challenges we’ve run into, and why this neighborhood still feels like home after all these years.

If you’ve ever wondered what everyday life in Greenpoint feels like—not just the highlights on a map but the real rhythms of food, family, and community—this episode gives you a glimpse into why it’s one of our favorite places in the city.
